[Coehd] COEHD 18th Annual Research Colloquium

This message is being sent on behalf of Dr. Rosalind Horowitz, Colloquium Founder and Head. Dear College of Education and Human Development Community of Faculty, Staff, and Students, I invite you to participate in our 18th COEHD Research Colloquium, Artificial Intelligence vs. The Authentic Mind: Challenges, Obstacles, and Opportunities for Academic Learning across the Disciplines. It will be held on Wednesday, February 25th 2026, in the HEB Ballroom, 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. There is no Registration fee. However, if you are attending do Register so we will know how to set up the Ballroom and the amount of food needed for a great Reception! Participants can register for the event at https://forms.office.com/r/hC8fYUJydm. You may attend as a Speaker at a Roundtable, Poster, Panel, or Demonstration or as a Listener or Discussant. This is a great opportunity to learn about the latest research in our college and about research occurring throughout the University’s Colleges and Departments. As we are well into the Semester, faculty and students should discuss possible presentations and submit an Abstract for the Spring Colloquium. Please encourage your students to present their research at this colloquium. Please consider allowing participation in the Colloquium as either a participant or presenter to count as a class assignment. Benefits to students who present: * It increases professional credibility. Students can include this Colloquium on their Resume which may help with job pursuits and leadership roles. * Gather feedback from experts and others to improve the work. * Provides an opportunity to network and collaborate with other researchers both within and outside their fields. * Improves critical thinking and communication skills. Presentations can be Research—theory, basic, or applied, at any stage of development –planning, ready for submission to another conference, a trial run, or for a journal, research that has been published and would benefit from discussion and future planning of a trajectory of studies. The research does not need to focus on AI. A flyer with more details regarding the submission of proposals is attached. The deadline to submit proposals is January 27, 2026. We hope that you will plan for this event, now, before the Fall Semester concludes. I have also attached a flyer for the Journal of Undergraduate Research and Scholarly Works that is accepting submissions for the 2025 edition. With gratitude for building research at UTSA, an R1 institution!
